#5 Harper was robbed

The ending to a battle royal can be tricky if you’re trying to make it close. The 2005 double elimination between John Cena and Batista in the Royal Rumble was the best too-close-to-call spot, and that wasn’t even on purpose.

During a late-February SmackDown battle royal to determine Bray Wyatt’s challenger for the WWE Title at WrestleMania, an AJ Styles victory did not go as planned.

Luke Harper must have wanted AJ to land on the apron, stopping his opponent's body from hitting the floor first. The problem here is that Styles completely missed the apron, definitively landing on the ground first. Harper ultimately never got to compete against Bray for his title, even though it would’ve made perfect sense in regard to his character arc at the time.
